Matching colors
[ vain topic ahead! ]
Which colors for clothes suit this beast?

Also, I was thinking about buying these shoes:

Too much white on them?

Your bar tape, tires will turn grey.
Get black shoes to match your future black tires and bar tape.

I love these "how do I dress" threads!
Working hard to coordinate your clothing to match your bike produces odd results (in my opinion).
Get shoes that fit. If they happen to be the color you want, that's a bonus.

screw that crap about you shouldn't work to match! If you want to talk about trendy cycling, it has become "flashy". Get WHITE shoes. I recommend Specialized S works because they are easy to clean with its glossy finish. Super comfy and the boa system works great. The trick to getting clothing that color matches is by getting the right amount of accent. You dont want to over do it, just have it work nicely together.
I'd do something like this...
Jersey (in Red):

Shorts (in Red):

With these shoes(White black):

In honor of the Gyro, I recommend you consider pink all around.

Or these from castelli
https://www.realcyclist.com/castelli-...bib-short-mens
https://www.realcyclist.com/castelli-...rt-sleeve-mens
Saw them in person at the shop and the materials are similar to some of the $200+ bibs. Awesome chamois.

Castelli bibs always come down so low in the front now. No thanks for me, which is unfortunate because you are right, the material is really really nice!
